While Len and I were standing in our driveway, our attention was caught by a murder of crows.
A group of crows is called a ‘murder.’ There are several different explanations for the origin of this term, mostly based on old folk tales and superstitions. For instance, there is a folktale that rows will gather and decide the capital fate of another crow.
It was pretty cool to watch them land in the bare tree branches and listen to the cacophony of cawing.
